Over 3 million votes were cast by NME readers, with Muse beating Oasis, Arctic Monkeys, Biffy Clyro and Kasabian for the best British band title.

Both bands have recently been announced as headliners for this years T in the Park, with Muse already lined up to headline Glastonbury 2010, which also won Best Festival at Tuesday nights award ceremony.
